Mathematics 10 Quarter 2 Module 8: Writing the Equation of a Circle

Grade 10 Math Q2 Module 8 explains the standard and general forms of a circle’s equation and how to find its center and radius, with worked examples.

This is the Grade 10 Mathematics Self-Learning Module for Quarter 2, Module 8: “Writing Equation of a Circle and Determining the Center and Radius of a Circle.” It was developed by DepEd Cordillera Administrative Region (First Edition, 2020) for learners studying at home under the Alternative Delivery Mode. After working through it, learners can write the equation of a circle from its center and radius, and find the center and radius when they are given the equation.

On this page 8 sections

What learners will learn

By the end of the module, learners should be able to:

  1. illustrate the center-radius form of the equation of a circle, and
  2. determine the center and radius of a circle given its equation, and vice versa.

The module explains that this topic is essential in coordinate geometry, which is used in fields such as mapping, aeronautics, and navigation.

Review: circles and the distance formula

The module starts by recalling two ideas from earlier lessons:

  • Circle: the set of all points (x, y) on a plane that are the same distance from a fixed point, the center. That distance is the radius, r.
  • Distance formula: the distance between A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂) is d = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²).

In Activity 1, learners use the distance formula to find the radius of two graphed circles. One has center (0, 0) and passes through (2, 2), giving a radius of 2√2. The other has center (1, 2) and passes through (−2, 1), giving a radius of √10.

The two forms of the equation of a circle

Center-radius form (standard form)

The module uses the distance formula to build the equation. It finds the distance between the center and any point P(x, y) on the circle.

CenterEquationExample
At the origin (0, 0)x² + y² = r²x² + y² = 9
At any point (h, k)(x − h)² + (y − k)² = r²(x − 3)² + (y + 1)² = 4

General form

Expanding the standard form gives the general form: x² + y² + Cx + Dy + E = 0, where C, D, and E are real numbers. Examples from the module include x² + y² − 6x − 10y + 18 = 0 and x² + y² − 8x = 0.

The module also gives these conditions:

  • The radius must be positive.
  • The coefficients of x² and y² are usually 1. If they are not 1, they must be equal to each other and not zero. An example is 4x² + 4y² − 16x + 24y − 36 = 0.

Worked examples in the module

The module solves six examples step by step:

  1. x² + y² = 25: the center is (0, 0) and the radius is 5, the square root of 25.
  2. x² + (y − 4)² = 16: rewrite as (x − 0)² + (y − 4)² = 4². The center is (0, 4) and the radius is 4.
  3. x² + y² − 6x − 10y + 18 = 0: group the x terms and the y terms, move 18 to the other side, and complete the squares by adding (6/2)² = 9 and (10/2)² = 25. This gives (x − 3)² + (y − 5)² = 16, so the center is (3, 5) and the radius is 4.
  4. 4x² + 4y² − 16x + 24y − 36 = 0: first divide every term by 4, then complete the squares. The result is (x − 2)² + (y + 3)² = 22, so the center is (2, −3) and the radius is √22.
  5. Center (6, 7), passing through (2, 5): use the distance formula to get r = √20 = 2√5. The equation is (x − 6)² + (y − 7)² = 20.
  6. Center (−5, −4), radius 3, in general form: write (x + 5)² + (y + 4)² = 9, expand, and simplify to x² + y² + 10x + 8y + 32 = 0.

A quick tip from these examples: the signs flip. In (x − 3)², h is 3, and in (y + 4)², k is −4.

Activities and assessment

  • What I Know (pretest): 10 multiple-choice items on standard and general forms, centers, and radii.
  • Activity 2: Pair them Up: match 15 sets of center and radius with their equations, then use the letters to decode a hidden message.
  • What I Have Learned: fill in six statements that summarize the lesson.
  • What I Can Do: a word problem about Mang Cardo’s carabao, which runs in a circle around its peg. Learners find the length of the rope from the equation x² + y² − 6x + 8y − 119 = 0, using a scale of 1 meter to 2 units.
  • Assessment (post-test): 10 multiple-choice items.
  • Additional Activity: match five graphed circles with their equations.

How to use this module

  • Learners: Answer the pretest first to see what you already know. Then work through the parts in order. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper, not on the module. Check your work honestly with the answer key at the end, and ask your teacher or facilitator if a task is unclear.
  • Parents and facilitators: Help your child follow the parts in order. Remind them to finish the post-test before looking at the answer key.
  • Teachers: The answer key covers the pretest, Activity 2, the word problem, the post-test, and the additional activity. Check it before you hand it out. Worked out from the module’s own method, pretest item 6 gives center (2, −5), which is choice C, but the key lists B. Activity 2 item 15 is O, which is needed to decode the message “OH LEARNING MATH IS REALLY FUN!”, but the key lists N.

Frequently asked questions

What grade and quarter is this module for?

It is the Grade 10 Mathematics Self-Learning Module for Quarter 2, Module 8. It was developed by DepEd Cordillera Administrative Region.

What is the center-radius form of the equation of a circle?

It is x² + y² = r² for a circle centered at the origin. For a circle centered at (h, k), it is (x − h)² + (y − k)² = r².

How do you find the center and radius from the general form?

Group the x terms and the y terms, move the constant to the other side, and complete the square for each variable. This rewrites the equation as (x − h)² + (y − k)² = r², so you can read off the center and the radius. If the coefficients of x² and y² are not 1, divide the whole equation by that coefficient first.

Does the module have an answer key?

Yes. The answer key covers the pretest, Activity 2, the word problem, the post-test, and the additional activity. A few pretest and Activity 2 answers appear to be misprinted, so check them against the worked method.

How long is the carabao’s rope in the What I Can Do problem?

According to the answer key, the rope measures 6 meters. Completing the square gives a radius of 12 units, which is 6 meters at a scale of 1 meter to 2 units.

What’s In

Your previous lessons on circles and the use of distance formula are both significantly relevant skills for you to understand the next lesson. Let’s have a short recall of these topics.

  • CIRCLE

A circle is the set of all points, (x, y), on a plane having the same distance from a fixed point called the center of the circle. The distance between the center of the circle and any point on the circle is called the radius, r, of the circle.

  • DISTANCE FORMULA

Supposing the coordinates of point A is (x₁, y₁) and point B is (x₂, y₂), then the distance, d, between point A and point B is

d = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²)

What’s New

Before you proceed to the lesson proper, it is important that you know how to use the distance formula in finding the measure of the radius of a circle. The following activity will also help you understand the lesson.

What Is It

You’ve learned already how to find the measure / length of the radius of a circle using the distance formula when given the coordinates of the center and a point on the circle. This time you will be learning about the different forms of the equation of a circle.

A. Circle with center at the origin.

Given the circle with center at (0,0). To draw its radius (r), connect the center to any point on the circle like point P(x, y). Then using the distance formula, we can find the equation of the circle.

We find the distance between the center(0,0) and P(x, y), which is the length of the radius(r) of the circle.

[chart: coordinate graph; circle centered at c(0,0) with radius r drawn to point P(x,y)]

From the distance formula, let P₁ (0,0), P₂ (x, y), and r be the distance.

d = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²) r = √((x − 0)² + (y − 0)²) Substitute P₁, P₂ and r in the formula. r = √(x² + y²) Simplify. r² = x² + y² Square both sides of the equation.

Thus, the equation of a circle with center at the origin is x² + y² = r².

B. Circle with center NOT at the origin.

Notice that the center of the circle is not on the origin but rather at point (h, k). At point P(x, y) on the circle, the radius r is drawn connecting the two points.

We find the distance between the center (h, k) and P(x, y), which is the length of the radius (r) of the circle.

[chart: coordinate graph; circle centered at c(h,k) with radius r drawn to point P(X,Y)]

From the distance formula, let 𝑃₁ (ℎ, 𝑘), 𝑃₂ (𝑥, 𝑦), and 𝑟 be the distance.

𝑑 = √((𝑥₂ − 𝑥₁)² + (𝑦₂ − 𝑦₁)²)

𝑟 = √((𝑥 − ℎ)² + (𝑦 − 𝑘)²) Substitute 𝑃₁ and 𝑃₂ in the formula.

𝑟² = (𝑥 − ℎ)² + (𝑦 − 𝑘)² Square both sides of the equation.

Thus, the equation of a circle with center not on the origin at any point (ℎ, 𝑘) is (𝒙 − 𝒉)² + (𝒚 − 𝒌)² = 𝒓².

Center-Radius Form (Standard Form) of the Equation of a Circle

Let 𝑟 be the radius of a circle, the equation of a circle in center-radius form is:

(a) 𝒙² + 𝒚² = 𝒓² with center at the origin (0,0)

(b) (𝒙 − 𝒉)² + (𝒚 − 𝒌)² = 𝒓² with center not on the origin at (ℎ, 𝑘)

Examples:

  1. 𝑥² + 𝑦² = 9
  2. (𝑥 − 3)² + (𝑦 + 1)² = 4

Expanding the standard form, we will arrive at the general form of the equation of a circle.

Expand: (x − h)² + (y − k)² = r²

Solution: x² − 2hx + h² + y² − 2ky + k² − r² = 0

x² + y² + (−2h)x + (−2k)y + h² + k² − r² = 0

*let C = −2h, D = −2k and E = h² + k² − r²

x² + y² + Cx + Dy + E = 0

General Form of the Equation of a Circle

Thus, the equation of a circle in general form is 𝐱² + 𝐲² + 𝐂𝐱 + 𝐃𝐲 + 𝐄 = 𝟎 where 𝐶, 𝐷 and 𝐸 are real numbers.

Examples:

  1. 𝑥² + 𝑦² − 6𝑥 − 10𝑦 + 18 = 0
  2. 𝑥² + 𝑦² − 8𝑥 = 0
  3. 𝑥² + 𝑦² + 2𝑦 − 3 = 0
  4. 4𝑥² + 4𝑦² − 16𝑥 + 24𝑦 − 36 = 0

Note: The numerical coefficients of 𝑥² and 𝑦² are both equal to 1, and the value of the radius (𝑟) is positive. Moreover, the numerical coefficients of 𝑥² and 𝑦² can be possibly not equal to 1 but they must be equal and cannot be equal to zero. See example 4 above.

Thus, the equation of a circle in general form is 𝐱² + 𝐲² + 𝐂𝐱 + 𝐃𝐲 + 𝐄 = 𝟎 where 𝐶, 𝐷 and 𝐸 are real numbers.

After learning the equations of a circle in relation to its center and radius. This time, you will learn how to determine the center and radius of a circle given the equation, and to write the equation of a circle given the center and the radius.

Example 1: Find the center and radius of the circle 𝑥² + 𝑦² = 25.

Solution: The given equation is in the form 𝑥² + 𝑦² = 𝑟². This means that the center of the circle is at the origin. To find the radius, get the square root of 25, which is 5.

Note: Since 𝑥² + 𝑦² = 25 is in the form 𝑥² + 𝑦² = 𝑟², then 𝑟² = 25. By extracting the square roots, 𝑟 = 5.

Therefore, the center of the circle is at (0, 0) and the radius is 5 units.

Example 2: Find the center and radius of the circle 𝑥² + (𝑦 − 4)² = 16.

Solution: The given equation is in the form (𝑥 − ℎ)² + (𝑦 − 𝑘)² = 𝑟². This means that the center of the circle is at (ℎ, 𝑘).

𝑥² + (𝑦 − 4)² = 16 Given.

(𝑥 − 0)² + (𝑦 − 4)² = 4² Write as (𝑥 − ℎ)² + (𝑦 − 𝑘)² = 𝑟².

ℎ = 0, 𝑘 = 4, 𝑟 = 4 Identify the values of ℎ, 𝑘, and 𝑟.

Therefore, the center of the circle is at (0, 4) and the radius is 4 units.

Example 3: Find the center and radius of the circle whose equation is represented by 𝑥² + 𝑦² − 6𝑥 − 10𝑦 + 18 = 0.

Solution: Since the equation is written in general form, we need to transform the equation to its standard form to determine its center and radius.

𝑥² + 𝑦² − 6𝑥 − 10𝑦 + 18 = 0 Given.

(𝑥² − 6𝑥) + (𝑦² − 10𝑦) + 18 = 0 Group terms with the same variable.

(𝑥² − 6𝑥) + (𝑦² − 10𝑦) = −18 Apply Addition Property of Equality.

(𝑥² − 6𝑥 + __) + (𝑦² − 10𝑦 + __) = −18 + __ + __ Apply completing the squares.

(𝑥² − 6𝑥 + 9) + (𝑦² − 10𝑦 + 25) = −18 + 9 + 25 (6/2)² = 9 (10/2)² = 25

(𝑥 − 3)² + (𝑦 − 5)² = 16 Factoring perfect square trinomial.

(𝑥 − 3)² + (𝑦 − 5)² = 4² Write as (𝑥 − ℎ)² + (𝑦 − 𝑘)² = 𝑟².

ℎ = 3, 𝑘 = 5, 𝑟 = 4 Identify the values of ℎ, 𝑘, and 𝑟.

Therefore, the center of the circle is at (3, 5) and the radius is 4 units.

Example 4: Find the center and radius of the circle whose equation is represented by 4𝑥² + 4𝑦² − 16𝑥 + 24𝑦 − 36 = 0.

Solution: Since the numerical coefficients of 𝑥² and 𝑦² are both not equal to 1, divide both sides of the equation by 4.

(4𝑥² + 4𝑦² − 16𝑥 + 24𝑦 − 36)/4 = 0/4 Divide each term by 4.

𝑥² + 𝑦² − 4𝑥 + 6𝑦 − 9 = 0

(𝑥² − 4𝑥) + (𝑦² + 6𝑦) − 9 = 0

(𝑥² − 4𝑥) + (𝑦² + 6𝑦) = 9

(𝑥² − 4𝑥 + __) + (𝑦² + 6𝑦 + __) = 9 + __ + __

(𝑥² − 4𝑥 + 4) + (𝑦² + 6𝑦 + 9) = 9 + 4 + 9

(𝑥 − 2)² + (𝑦 + 3)² = 22

(𝑥 − 2)² + (𝑦 + 3)² = √22

ℎ = 2, 𝑘 = −3, 𝑟 = √22

Therefore, the center of the circle is at (2, −3) and the radius is √22 units.

Example 5. Write the equation of the circle in center-radius form whose center is at (6,7) and contains the point (2,5).

Solution: Step 1: Find the radius using the distance formula.

𝑑 = √((𝑥₂ − 𝑥₁)² + (𝑦₂ − 𝑦₁)²) Let P₁(6,7) and P₂(2,5)

𝑟 = √((2 − 6)² + (5 − 7)²) Substitute P₁, P₂ and r.

𝑟 = √((−4)² + (−2)²) Perform the operations.

𝑟 = √16 + 4 Square each term.

𝑟 = √20 = 2√5 Simplify.

Step 2: Write the equation in center-radius form.

At 𝐶(6, 7); h = 6, 𝑘 = 7.

(𝑥 − ℎ)² + (𝑦 − 𝑘)² = 𝑟² Use the center-radius form.

(𝑥 − 6)² + (𝑦 − 7)² = (2√5)² Substitute the values of ℎ, 𝑘, and 𝑟.

(𝑥 − 6)² + (𝑦 − 7)² = 20 Simplify.

Therefore, the equation of the circle in center-radius form is (𝒙 − 𝟔)² + (𝒚 − 𝟕)² = 20.

Example 6: Write the equation of the circle in general form with center at (−5, −4) and radius of 3 units.

Solution: Given: h = −5, k = −4, r = 3

[x − (−5)]² + [y − (−4)]² = 3² Substitute given in (𝑥 − ℎ)² + (𝑦 − 𝑘)² = 𝑟².

(𝑥 + 5)² + (𝑦 + 4)² = 9 Simplify.

𝑥² + 10𝑥 + 25 + 𝑦² + 8𝑦 + 16 = 9 Expand by squaring a binomial.

𝑥² + 𝑦² + 10𝑥 + 8𝑦 + 32 = 0 Write in 𝑥² + 𝑦² + 𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 + 𝐶 = 0.

Therefore, the equation of the circle in general form is 𝒙² + 𝒚² + 𝟏𝟎𝒙 + 𝟖𝒚 + 𝟑𝟐 = 𝟎.

Mang Cardo tied his carabao to a peg in the field. In the evening, dark clouds began to form and the weather turned bad. Consecutive lightning and thunder frightened the carabao causing it to run in circles straining its rope.

In the morning when the weather calmed down, Mang Cardo sent his Grade 10 son to untie the carabao. His son was surprised to see a perfectly formed circle around the carabao’s peg.

If the circle formed by the carabao’s foot prints is given by the equation 𝑥² + 𝑦² − 6𝑥 + 8𝑦 − 119 = 0, how long is the carabao’s rope if the scale used is 1 meter is to 2 units?
